Considerations for Team Formation

Project preference

All team members should have a desire to work on the same project.

Team's engineering skill set

The team's expertise should match up with the project needs.

Personality

There should be a compatible mix of personalities in the team.

Friends and team members

A good friend does not necessarily make a good team mate.

Team Formation Preparedness

Since there is no guarantee that other students will have similar project interests, you should be prepared to do one of the following:

1. convince others to work with you on one of your selected projects
2. consider working with another student on a project he/she has chosen
3. keep an open mind

Project Selection & Team Formation Procedure

Procedure:

1. Make sure the project your are interested in is available
2. Refer to Preference by Projects and contact other students who have similar project interests
3. Verify their desire and availability to work on the project
4. Once a team of three is formed, email Dave with your project selection, team members, and team name

Policies:

1. Students currently on Wait List can not be chosen to be on a project team
2. Teams will have three members
3. Teams of less than three are only ok if the number of students is not divisible by three. In that case one or two teams of two will be formed.
4. Some projects can support multiple teams
5. Projects are reserved on a "first to email" basis
